That's quite a challenge to start with. The icon code is
completely independent of the window drawing code. I think the
cleanest way would be to enhance the code in a way so that the
icon window is actually swallowed in a separate FvwmWindow frame.
Fvwm would have to simulate being an application on its own for
that. But that requires changes all over the place because fvwm
cant't handle its own client windows than normal app windows (e.g.
it should kill the icon's application with "Destroy", not
itself). Doing it this way would have the advantage that
implementing tear off menus (planned) can possibly reuse parts of
the code.
